Here are the points that fails the progressive Christianity. 1. Our Understanding of the Bible The Bible is a collection of human documents through which God speaks to us uniquely in our time. 2. Our Understanding of Christ Christ is the revelation to us that God is incarnate in all of creation. 3. Our Understanding of God God is incarnate everywhere—we have come to see this in Jesus Christ. But as what, and how? As that presence that everywhere works for good, uncovering and condemning that which harms, and laboring patiently for the redemption and renewal of all things. 4. Our Understanding of Sin. Sin is whatever structures, beliefs and actions deny and oppose God’s affirming power and redemptive presence in all of creation.5. Our Understanding of the Church. The Church is the community of those who come together to discern, on the basis of what they see in the story of Jesus, where in the world God is working today to transform human life and all of creation, and to work on the side of God’s redemptive presence and power in the world today. 6. Our Understanding of Salvation Salvation is the healing and health that God seeks for all of the creation, including ourselves individually and corporately in every dimension of our lives. It is a political, social, physical, mental, spiritual and ecological healing. This is the audacious vision that we endeavor to share and to serve.
